Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Creating programs to represent board games can be a time-consuming task. Large Language Models (LLMs) arise as appealing tools to expedite this process, given their capacity to efficiently generate code from simple contextual information. In this work, we propose a method to test how capable three LLMs (Claude, DeepSeek and ChatGPT) are at creating code for board games, as well as new variants of existing games.
Zoo of Centralities: Encyclopedia of Node Metrics in Complex Networks
Venue: arXiv cs.SI 2025
Year: 2025

Centrality is a fundamental concept in network science, providing critical insights into the structure and dynamics of complex systems such as social, transportation, biological and financial networks. Despite its extensive use, there is no universally accepted definition of centrality, leading to the development of a large variety of distinct centrality measures. These measures have grown so numerous that they resemble a 'zoo', each representing a unique approach to capturing node importance within a network. However, the increasing number of metrics being developed has led to several challenges, including issues of discoverability, redundancy, naming conflicts, validation and accessibility. This work aims to address these challenges by providing a comprehensive catalog of over 400 centrality measures, along with clear descriptions and references to original sources. While not exhaustive, this compilation represents the most extensive and systematic effort to date in organizing and presenting centrality measures. We also encourage readers to explore and contribute to the Centrality Zoo website at https://centralityzoo.github.io/, which provides an interactive platform for discovering and comparing centrality measures.
QuAnTS: Question Answering on Time Series
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Text offers intuitive access to information. This can, in particular, complement the density of numerical time series, thereby allowing improved interactions with time series models to enhance accessibility and decision-making. While the creation of question-answering datasets and models has recently seen remarkable growth, most research focuses on question answering (QA) on vision and text, with time series receiving minute attention. To bridge this gap, we propose a challenging novel time series QA (TSQA) dataset, QuAnTS, for Question Answering on Time Series data. Specifically, we pose a wide variety of questions and answers about human motion in the form of tracked skeleton trajectories. We verify that the large-scale QuAnTS dataset is well-formed and comprehensive through extensive experiments. Thoroughly evaluating existing and newly proposed baselines then lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of TSQA using QuAnTS. Additionally, we provide human performances as a key reference for gauging the practical usability of such models. We hope to encourage future research on interacting with time series models through text, enabling better decision-making and more transparent systems.
Decomposed Object Manipulation via Dual-Actor Policy
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

Object manipulation, which focuses on learning to perform tasks on similar parts across different types of objects, can be divided into an approaching stage and a manipulation stage. However, previous works often ignore this characteristic of the task and rely on a single policy to directly learn the whole process of object manipulation. To address this problem, we propose a novel Dual-Actor Policy, termed DAP, which explicitly considers different stages and leverages heterogeneous visual priors to enhance each stage. Specifically, we introduce an affordance-based actor to locate the functional part in the manipulation task, thereby improving the approaching process. Following this, we propose a motion flow-based actor to capture the movement of the component, facilitating the manipulation process. Finally, we introduce a decision maker to determine the current stage of DAP and select the corresponding actor. Moreover, existing object manipulation datasets contain few objects and lack the visual priors needed to support training. To address this, we construct a simulated dataset, the Dual-Prior Object Manipulation Dataset, which combines the two visual priors and includes seven tasks, including two challenging long-term, multi-stage tasks. Experimental results on our dataset, the RoboTwin benchmark and real-world scenarios illustrate that our method consistently outperforms the SOTA method by 5.55%, 14.7% and 10.4% on average respectively.
Interface Homme-Machine pour l'Identification des Liaisons de Coins
Venue: arXiv cs.HC 2025
Year: 2025

ACCADIL is a project that led to the development of software tools for the identification of coin die links from coin photographs. It provides a computational algorithm based on computer vision and classification techniques, along with an online interface for the interactive verification of results. This guide briefly describes the algorithmic principles, the preparation of data prior to analysis, and the features offered by the interface: dataset addition, visualization modes (overlay, side-by-side, magnifier, transparency), result export, and distance visualization. ACCADIL thus provides numismatists with a comprehensive tool for the analysis of die links within a coin collection.
Splatography: Sparse multi-view dynamic Gaussian Splatting for filmmaking challenges
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Deformable Gaussian Splatting (GS) accomplishes photorealistic dynamic 3-D reconstruction from dense multi-view video (MVV) by learning to deform a canonical GS representation. However, in filmmaking, tight budgets can result in sparse camera configurations, which limits state-of-the-art (SotA) methods when capturing complex dynamic features. To address this issue, we introduce an approach that splits the canonical Gaussians and deformation field into foreground and background components using a sparse set of masks for frames at t=0. Each representation is separately trained on different loss functions during canonical pre-training. Then, during dynamic training, different parameters are modeled for each deformation field following common filmmaking practices. The foreground stage contains diverse dynamic features so changes in color, position and rotation are learned. While, the background containing film-crew and equipment, is typically dimmer and less dynamic so only changes in point position are learned. Experiments on 3-D and 2.5-D entertainment datasets show that our method produces SotA qualitative and quantitative results; up to 3 PSNR higher with half the model size on 3-D scenes. Unlike the SotA and without the need for dense mask supervision, our method also produces segmented dynamic reconstructions including transparent and dynamic textures.

Follow-Me in Micro-Mobility with End-to-End Imitation Learning
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

Autonomous micro-mobility platforms face challenges from the perspective of the typical deployment environment: large indoor spaces or urban areas that are potentially crowded and highly dynamic. While social navigation algorithms have progressed significantly, optimizing user comfort and overall user experience over other typical metrics in robotics (e.g., time or distance traveled) is understudied. Specifically, these metrics are critical in commercial applications. In this paper, we show how imitation learning delivers smoother and overall better controllers, versus previously used manually-tuned controllers. We demonstrate how DAAV's autonomous wheelchair achieves state-of-the-art comfort in follow-me mode, in which it follows a human operator assisting persons with reduced mobility (PRM). This paper analyzes different neural network architectures for end-to-end control and demonstrates their usability in real-world production-level deployments.
Linear Gradient Prediction with Control Variates
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

We propose a new way of training neural networks, with the goal of reducing training cost. Our method uses approximate predicted gradients instead of the full gradients that require an expensive backward pass. We derive a control-variate-based technique that ensures our updates are unbiased estimates of the true gradient. Moreover, we propose a novel way to derive a predictor for the gradient inspired by the theory of the Neural Tangent Kernel. We empirically show the efficacy of the technique on a vision transformer classification task.
CodeMapper: A Language-Agnostic Approach to Mapping Code Regions Across Commits
Venue: arXiv cs.SE 2025
Year: 2025

During software evolution, developers commonly face the problem of mapping a specific code region from one commit to another. For example, they may want to determine how the condition of an if-statement, a specific line in a configuration file, or the definition of a function changes. We call this the code mapping problem. Existing techniques, such as git diff, address this problem only insufficiently because they show all changes made to a file instead of focusing on a code region of the developer's choice. Other techniques focus on specific code elements and programming languages (e.g., methods in Java), limiting their applicability. This paper introduces CodeMapper, an approach to address the code mapping problem in a way that is independent of specific program elements and programming languages. Given a code region in one commit, CodeMapper finds the corresponding region in another commit. The approach consists of two phases: (i) computing candidate regions by analyzing diffs, detecting code movements, and searching for specific code fragments, and (ii) selecting the most likely target region by calculating similarities. Our evaluation applies CodeMapper to four datasets, including two new hand-annotated datasets containing code region pairs in ten popular programming languages. CodeMapper correctly identifies the expected target region in 71.0%--94.5% of all cases, improving over the best available baselines by 1.5--58.8 absolute percent points.
Emergence from Emergence: Financial Market Simulation via Learning with Heterogeneous Preferences
Venue: arXiv cs.CY 2025
Year: 2025

Agent-based models help explain stock price dynamics as emergent phenomena driven by interacting investors. In this modeling tradition, investor behavior has typically been captured by two distinct mechanisms -- learning and heterogeneous preferences -- which have been explored as separate paradigms in prior studies. However, the impact of their joint modeling on the resulting collective dynamics remains largely unexplored. We develop a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework in which agents endowed with heterogeneous risk aversion, time discounting, and information access collectively learn trading strategies within a unified shared-policy framework. The experiment reveals that (i) learning with heterogeneous preferences drives agents to develop strategies aligned with their individual traits, fostering behavioral differentiation and niche specialization within the market, and (ii) the interactions by the differentiated agents are essential for the emergence of realistic market dynamics such as fat-tailed price fluctuations and volatility clustering. This study presents a constructive paradigm for financial market modeling in which the joint design of heterogeneous preferences and learning mechanisms enables two-stage emergence: individual behavior and the collective market dynamics.
The Causal Round Trip: Generating Authentic Counterfactuals by Eliminating Information Loss
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Judea Pearl's vision of Structural Causal Models (SCMs) as engines for counterfactual reasoning hinges on faithful abduction: the precise inference of latent exogenous noise. For decades, operationalizing this step for complex, non-linear mechanisms has remained a significant computational challenge. The advent of diffusion models, powerful universal function approximators, offers a promising solution. However, we argue that their standard design, optimized for perceptual generation over logical inference, introduces a fundamental flaw for this classical problem: an inherent information loss we term the Structural Reconstruction Error (SRE). To address this challenge, we formalize the principle of Causal Information Conservation (CIC) as the necessary condition for faithful abduction. We then introduce BELM-MDCM, the first diffusion-based framework engineered to be causally sound by eliminating SRE by construction through an analytically invertible mechanism. To operationalize this framework, a Targeted Modeling strategy provides structural regularization, while a Hybrid Training Objective instills a strong causal inductive bias. Rigorous experiments demonstrate that our Zero-SRE framework not only achieves state-of-the-art accuracy but, more importantly, enables the high-fidelity, individual-level counterfactuals required for deep causal inquiries. Our work provides a foundational blueprint that reconciles the power of modern generative models with the rigor of classical causal theory, establishing a new and more rigorous standard for this emerging field.
EPFL-REMNet: Efficient Personalized Federated Digital Twin Towards 6G Heterogeneous Radio Environment
Venue: arXiv cs.NI 2025
Year: 2025

Radio Environment Map (REM) is transitioning from 5G homogeneous environments to B5G/6G heterogeneous landscapes. However, standard Federated Learning (FL), a natural fit for this distributed task, struggles with performance degradation in accuracy and communication efficiency under the non-independent and identically distributed (Non-IID) data conditions inherent to these new environments. This paper proposes EPFL-REMNet, an efficient personalized federated framework for constructing a high-fidelity digital twin of the 6G heterogeneous radio environment. The proposed EPFL-REMNet employs a"shared backbone + lightweight personalized head" model, where only the compressed shared backbone is transmitted between the server and clients, while each client's personalized head is maintained locally. We tested EPFL-REMNet by constructing three distinct Non-IID scenarios (light, medium, and heavy) based on radio environment complexity, with data geographically partitioned across 90 clients. Experimental results demonstrate that EPFL-REMNet simultaneously achieves higher digital twin fidelity (accuracy) and lower uplink overhead across all Non-IID settings compared to standard FedAvg and recent state-of-the-art methods. Particularly, it significantly reduces performance disparities across datasets and improves local map accuracy for long-tail clients, enhancing the overall integrity of digital twin.
Integrating Score-Based Diffusion Models with Machine Learning-Enhanced Localization for Advanced Data Assimilation in Geological Carbon Storage
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Accurate characterization of subsurface heterogeneity is important for the safe and effective implementation of geological carbon storage (GCS) projects. This paper explores how machine learning methods can enhance data assimilation for GCS with a framework that integrates score-based diffusion models with machine learning-enhanced localization in channelized reservoirs during CO$_2$ injection. We employ a machine learning-enhanced localization framework that uses large ensembles ($N_s = 5000$) with permeabilities generated by the diffusion model and states computed by simple ML algorithms to improve covariance estimation for the Ensemble Smoother with Multiple Data Assimilation (ESMDA). We apply ML algorithms to a prior ensemble of channelized permeability fields, generated with the geostatistical model FLUVSIM. Our approach is applied on a CO$_2$ injection scenario simulated using the Delft Advanced Research Terra Simulator (DARTS). Our ML-based localization maintains significantly more ensemble variance than when localization is not applied, while achieving comparable data-matching quality. This framework has practical implications for GCS projects, helping improve the reliability of uncertainty quantification for risk assessment.
Embedding-Space Data Augmentation to Prevent Membership Inference Attacks in Clinical Time Series Forecasting
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Balancing strong privacy guarantees with high predictive performance is critical for time series forecasting (TSF) tasks involving Electronic Health Records (EHR). In this study, we explore how data augmentation can mitigate Membership Inference Attacks (MIA) on TSF models. We show that retraining with synthetic data can substantially reduce the effectiveness of loss-based MIAs by reducing the attacker's true-positive to false-positive ratio. The key challenge is generating synthetic samples that closely resemble the original training data to confuse the attacker, while also introducing enough novelty to enhance the model's ability to generalize to unseen data. We examine multiple augmentation strategies - Zeroth-Order Optimization (ZOO), a variant of ZOO constrained by Principal Component Analysis (ZOO-PCA), and MixUp - to strengthen model resilience without sacrificing accuracy. Our experimental results show that ZOO-PCA yields the best reductions in TPR/FPR ratio for MIA attacks without sacrificing performance on test data.
Cooperation Under Network-Constrained Communication
Venue: arXiv cs.GT 2025
Year: 2025

In this paper, we study cooperation in distributed games under network-constrained communication. Building on the framework of Monderer and Tennenholtz (1999), we derive a sufficient condition for cooperative equilibrium in settings where communication between agents is delayed by the underlying network topology. Each player deploys an agent at every location, and local interactions follow a Prisoner's Dilemma structure. We derive a sufficient condition that depends on the network diameter and the number of locations, and analyze extreme cases of instantaneous, delayed, and proportionally delayed communication. We also discuss the asymptotic case of scale-free communication networks, in which the network diameter grows sub-linearly in the number of locations. These insights clarify how communication latency and network design jointly determine the emergence of distributed cooperation.
Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Noisy Coral Reefs
Venue: arXiv cs.SD 2025
Year: 2025

Passive acoustic monitoring offers the potential to enable long-term, spatially extensive assessments of coral reefs. To explore this approach, we deployed underwater acoustic recorders at ten coral reef sites around Singapore waters over two years. To mitigate the persistent biological noise masking the low-frequency reef soundscape, we trained a convolutional neural network denoiser. Analysis of the acoustic data reveals distinct morning and evening choruses. Though the correlation with environmental variates was obscured in the low-frequency part of the noisy recordings, the denoised data showed correlations of acoustic activity indices such as sound pressure level and acoustic complexity index with diver-based assessments of reef health such as live coral richness and cover, and algal cover. Furthermore, the shrimp snap rate, computed from the high-frequency acoustic band, is robustly correlated with the reef parameters, both temporally and spatially. This study demonstrates that passive acoustics holds valuable information that can help with reef monitoring, provided the data is effectively denoised and interpreted. This methodology can be extended to other marine environments where acoustic monitoring is hindered by persistent noise.
To Squelch or not to Squelch: Enabling Improved Message Dissemination on the XRP Ledger
Venue: arXiv cs.NI 2025
Year: 2025

With the large increase in the adoption of blockchain technologies, their underlying peer-to-peer networks must also scale with the demand. In this context, previous works highlighted the importance of ensuring efficient and resilient communication for the underlying consensus and replication mechanisms. However, they were mainly focused on mainstream, Proof-of-Work-based Distributed Ledger Technologies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. In this paper, the problem is investigated in the context of consensus-validation based blockchains, like the XRP Ledger. The latter relies on a Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA) consensus mechanism which is proven to have a good scalability in regards to transaction throughput. However, it is known that significant increases in the size of the XRP Ledger network would be challenging to achieve. The main reason is the flooding mechanism used to disseminate the messages related to the consensus protocol, which creates many duplicates in the network. Squelching is a recent solution proposed for limiting this duplication, however, it was never evaluated quantitatively in real-life scenarios involving the XRPL production network. In this paper, our aim is to assess this mechanism using a real-life controllable testbed and the XRPL production network, to assess its benefit and compare it to alternative solutions relying on Named Data Networking and on a gossip-based approach.
AI Assisted AR Assembly: Object Recognition and Computer Vision for Augmented Reality Assisted Assembly
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

We present an AI-assisted Augmented Reality assembly workflow that uses deep learning-based object recognition to identify different assembly components and display step-by-step instructions. For each assembly step, the system displays a bounding box around the corresponding components in the physical space, and where the component should be placed. By connecting assembly instructions with the real-time location of relevant components, the system eliminates the need for manual searching, sorting, or labeling of different components before each assembly. To demonstrate the feasibility of using object recognition for AR-assisted assembly, we highlight a case study involving the assembly of LEGO sculptures.
ProDER: A Continual Learning Approach for Fault Prediction in Evolving Smart Grids
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

As smart grids evolve to meet growing energy demands and modern operational challenges, the ability to accurately predict faults becomes increasingly critical. However, existing AI-based fault prediction models struggle to ensure reliability in evolving environments where they are required to adapt to new fault types and operational zones. In this paper, we propose a continual learning (CL) framework in the smart grid context to evolve the model together with the environment. We design four realistic evaluation scenarios grounded in class-incremental and domain-incremental learning to emulate evolving grid conditions. We further introduce Prototype-based Dark Experience Replay (ProDER), a unified replay-based approach that integrates prototype-based feature regularization, logit distillation, and a prototype-guided replay memory. ProDER achieves the best performance among tested CL techniques, with only a 0.045 accuracy drop for fault type prediction and 0.015 for fault zone prediction. These results demonstrate the practicality of CL for scalable, real-world fault prediction in smart grids.
